STOCKTON - Authorities apprehended five people who fled into a north Stockton apartment complex Thursday following an armed robbery, police said.

Three boys were walking near Claremont Avenue and Jamestown Street about 5:25 p.m. when they were approached by five males, officers said. One of the robbers pointed a handgun at the victims while the others took their belongings, police said. The robbers then fled east on Jamestown Street, authorities said.

After viewing a video and talking to neighbors, patrol officers, Community Response Team officers and members of the multiagency San Joaquin County gang task force determined the robbers ran into a nearby apartment, authorities said. The robbers were eventually called out, and the victims' property was located inside, police said.
